There is no doubt the power company employees earn their pay after a storm. I for one am very appreciative of their efforts. I am not as appreciative of our power companies efforts. We had a similar power outage last December after an ice storm. There has been a hue and a cry that the power companies have made little effort to put power lines under ground. They have left our city just as vulnerable to power outages as we were last year.

Yes, hats off to them, and emergency workers - often thankless, but essential work. And some people take it upoin themselves to abuse such workers, to take their own frustrations out. Thanks for your tribute!
